I've been monitoring our storage areas, and when collecting traps noticed what I think may be carpet beetle larva (they look a lot like this: http://www.library.illinois.edu/prescons/services/ipm/images/beetle_cabinet_larva.jpg). They're small, fuzzy things that I'm thinking if not carpet beetle, then some other sort of beetle larva, but I'm a bit puzzled because I haven't trapped a single adult beetle. Does anyone know why I would trap just the larva and no adults? Or is it maybe something else that just looks like beetle larva? Is there such a thing? Any help would be great. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the actual ones that I caught. Thanks, Annie Annie Peterson Preservation Librarian Howard-Tilton Memorial Library Tulane University 504 865 5641 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To send an email to the list, send your msg to pestlist@museumpests.Net To unsubscribe from this list send an email to pestlist@museumpests.net and in the subject put: "unsubscribe" - no quotes please.
